McAlexander's Book of Nouns is now available on Amazon. This compilation is an amalgamation of misused, misspelled, invented, and otherwise incorrect words extracted from cyberspace and reticulated with actual, legitimate, veritable lexemes of the English language, properly assimilated and catalogued with distinction and definition, though many neologies have been included. It is a desideratum of banausic elocution wrought from the dissatisfaction of unsophistication and the disgust of lackadaisical praxis. In laic terms, it is a treatise of proper word selection (and avoidance) for both writing and public speaking. This book contains the substantive, or noun, form of locution; its purpose is to aid in the proper word selection for professional and eloquent writing (and public speaking). It does not contain every possible noun form or analogous word association, though this undertaking has been operose and is sufficiently distinct from alternative references in its endeavor to illuminate opportunities as well as suggest proficient solutions with the utmost civility.

I arranged category space planograms on JDA ProFloor maps imported from the most current store-specific blueprint while aligning with current category strategies and efficiencies for the specific project. I also assisted with Space Excellence tickets from stores regarding layout concerns, as well as project store milestone monitoring and preparation for store grand openings. These GOs involved multiple applications, difficulty levels of functionality, and job knowledge of the major and special project processes.

I helped stabilize seven buyers, 20 categories, and a cross-functional team of 40+ people. Information came from all areas, such as Private Label, Replenishment, Sourcing, Business Analytics, Pricing, Merchandise Execution, Innovation, Marketing, and other Merchandising departments, among others. I assisted with calendars, technical support, special projects, general problem-solving, room selection and location, product retrieval and drop-off, reporting, entertainment (long story), store trait selection, supplier fixture ordering, and many other unexpected dilemmas.

The Buyer's Assistant role was akin to the CTA role with less categories and more immediate impact on the business. For example, I wrote purchase orders and keyed price changes; the CTA role ushered in a pricing team while the replenishment team wrote orders. The transformation change in 2009 was the right decision for the company. The transformation in 2015 was another development to help propel growth and level-set job responsibilities within the company.

As a trainer, I fielded questions from phone agents receiving incoming calls from all 50 states and the territory of Puerto Rico. These calls were both merchandising and fixture / store-use item problem-solving questions. In my five years (which included 2.5 years as an agent), I personally fielded over 50,000 phone calls in which I resolved a problem or answered a question.

I acquired patience, knowledge of products, furthered my people skill set, and honed my desire for customer satisfaction.
